Alexis Glick vs Judge Napolitano: Cash 4 Clunkers!

[19Truth53]

Of course STATIST Glick "likes it."

[cfbastiat]

Alexis needs to google the broken window fallacy. Wealth is property. To destroy property is to destroy wealth. Period. Due to this plan foisted on us by our "betters", the world now has fewer cars. Why not destroy everything? That will create untold wealth.

"We have tried so many things; when shall we try the simplest of all: freedom?" - Frederic Bastiat

I like Glick a lot, but she couldn't have been more wrong about this. China was actually behind Cash for Clunkers.

This was an absolutely stupid & wasteful program that cost the American Taxpayers big bucks. Many of these vehicles were not clunkers at all. Many of these vehicle would probably run another 70, 000+ miles or more. Many of these vehicles could have been used by some people to get to work.

This would have made more sense if they had waited for all of the 2010 vehicles to hit the market. This should have been about stimulating the big 3 Ford GMC and Chrysler/Dodge.

Another stupid Obama Program.

The idea that Fox's -- or any corporation's -- commercial success is evidence of superior quality, is flawed. By that "logic," McDonald's would be the best restaurant in the world.

[loupgarou5z3w]

eschuela, If you're suggesting that MSNBC has some work to do if it wants to compete with Fox for the resentful, pig-ignorant white trash demographic, I completely agree.

[loupgarou5z3w]

Actually, thedecider1984, Fox has more appeal to crackers (besides rednecks, hicks, & peckerwoods) than MSNBC.

[eschuela]

Meanwhile MSNBC doesn't have any viewers...well maybe a few pussy men, carpet munchers, and brain dead druggies.

[loupgarou5z3w]

Alexis Glick's a serious person at FBN, not one of Fox's news entertainers who spout dumbed-down ideology & simplistic talking points ("Baaaa, everything government does except fighting wars is baaaad!"). She's also rather unusual at Fox in that she speaks in a friendly, reasonable manner, trying to persuade others or at least arrive at a mutual understanding, rather than rant, interrupt, talk over people, & harangue them. Oh, & it doesn't hurt one bit that she's beautiful.

[ch1kusoo]

it sure aint rocket science,Charles Dickens spelt it out in Micawber's First Law,"Annual income twenty pounds,annual expenditure nineteen and six,result happiness.Annual income twenty pounds,annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six,result misery"

WARNING: Posters of critical comments or offensive remarks about Barrack Obama or his administration on this web site will be reported to the White House Snitch Program. This is all part of the Obama Administrations ongoing Shut The Fuck Up program. The Obama Administration, the bastion of transparency, will not abide dissenting points of view as they are counter to the success of the Obama Socialist movement. You will either learn to shut up, or we, the liberals, will shut you the fuck up.

Trust me, we haven't seen the end of this concept.

The "all knowing" Obama surely has other things he wants to "fix" in this type of way. But I guess if you have a mindset of government first, this is brilliant. Government first, however, is usually the cause of deeper problems.

[TranCendenZ]

Unfortunately, Alexis Glick is wrong about Cash for Clunkers. Cash for Clunkers is like the "Broken Window Fallacy". It has long-term economical consequences.

Poor working people and students could use those so-called "clunkers" that are being destroyed.

We're going to have another crisis like the housing industry crisis--except this time with cars.

[MooseOfReason]

Tran, Exactly. Only it is surprising the government doesn't have a program where they're destroying houses to keep the prices propped up, like they did with crops and farm animals during the great depression.

People like Alexis Glick think they can defy economic law and not have a negative effect on society.
